ABOUT
US

Welcome to Swirled News, the crop
circle headline news service provided by the Southern Circular
Research (SCR) organisation (founded in 1991), which for nine
years produced the influential journal SC. Swirled
News, launched in spring 2001, is the site to access for informed reports
and reviews on happenings and discoveries in the
world of crop circles, backed up by incisive comment,
analysis, opinion and humour.

Swirled News is edited by Andy Thomas,
author of five books on crop circles including Vital Signs, which has been
described by many as the definitive guide to the circle
phenomenon. Andy edited SC for its entire duration and
is a prominent researcher and lecturer. Artistic director for Swirled
News is Emmy award-winning video editor Jason Porthouse,
and our Feedback editor is Melanie Gambrill. In addition to a
squad of excellent contributors, our core team includes Marcus Allen (UK
editor of Nexus Magazine), Allan Brown, Martin Noakes, Barry Reynolds and
Di Brown. We also have a resident cartoonist, our man in Australia,
Brett Parrott.

Southern Circular Research monitors and surveys crop
formations in its home counties of East and West Sussex and
holds regular monthly meetings at Burgess Hill, West Sussex,
where all the latest global news on the phenomenon is
discussed and lectured on. All are welcome. To find out
meeting dates, times, places and details, please click on the
